Really well-equipped, warm, clean and comfortable cottage with a beautiful garden. Great location for visiting Wasdale, Ennerdale and the Esk Valley, which is what we wanted. There is no WiFi. There was enough 4G signal for us to get by!

A comfortable cottage with a lovely garden and secluded seating area. With off road parking, on a fairly busy minor road but not too intrusive.

The cottage was in a very quiet location, ideal for anyone wanting to completely get away from a busy life style. The lack of amenities within Drigg meant that you dd need to travel to Seascale or beyond for food or supplies. Google did indicate that the local Hotel was still open for lunches etc but we found this not to be the case.
